Old California

Today I saw an oil tanker leaving the bay, riding up high and showing the rust red of the hull. The journey back to exotic lands. I'm interested in pushing the range of green grays, like in the clouds while introducing hints of the ship colors too.

This is a gouache sketch of mountian tops above Lake Como I made earlier this year. It started to rain a bit so I had to work fast before the raindrops did their damage.

A study of the seashore with the last touch of sunlight on the clouds and sailing ships.
